No stops will be made except at the
points above mentioned. and in no in
stance can the time given to cities where
stops are to be made be extended. The
fact that the journey is timed to meet
fixed engagements will prevent any ex-
ceptions, but through the day, in passing
places of any considerable size, the train
will be run at very low rate of speed.
All reception committees have been re-
quested to meet the President at their re-
spective cities instead of en- route, as has
been proposed in some instances. This
is to enable the party to get as much
rest and quiet as possible while travelling.
At the suggestion of the President
much proposed speech-making at the
places to be visited has been abandoned,
and instead an important feature in the
programme at each place will be carriage
rides about cities over previouslyan-
nounced routes, which will crafty his
desire to see the towns and their popu-
lation, and enable all to see the President
without the discomforts and dangers at
tending crowded rooms and platforms.

GRIMALDI'S FATHER.
He Tests the Affection of His Two Sons
by Feigning Death.

Joe Grimaldi was scarcely eight years old
when his father died. Not long before the
eccentric Giuseppe had feigned death in
order to test the affection of his two sons.
One day he instructed the servant to tell the
boys as soon as they came home from re-
hearsal that he had suddenly expired, but
first of all they were to be brought into the
darkened room where he lay stretched out
beneath sheet, so that he might hear how
they took the news. Joe, suspecting trick,
began to roar Justify, but his brother danced
and sang with delight at the prospect of be
ing released from their tormentor. Up
sprang the sham and Infatuated corpse, and
oh, the thrashing that unhappy junior re-
ceived for his want of filial affection! while
the more artful Joseph was caressed and re-
Marded. Gentlemam's Magazine.

TAR-HEEL SQUIRRELS.
How a Shrewd West Virginia Farmer
Guarded His Corn-i"lds.

Guarded His tOrn-n"ius.
A farmer named Corner Of Rome county,
w. Va. has invented a new plan to eaten
squirrels which has proven great success
He has a large corn-tield which borders on
the woods, and which the squirrels nave
almost devastated during the last season.
Having hit upon plan he first watched the
animals, and found that when they maze
raid and retired they retreated to the WOODS
almost invariably along one particular me
of fence. Having learned this fact corner
covered the top rail of that line Of fence CIV M'in
tar, putting on a heavy coat. This ne qua III
the evening. and in the morning when ne
went to the field he saw long line OF squ lha
rels running along the fence toward IN. .ie
woods. They succeeded in clearing I Ihe
fence, but when they struck the woods tlls
leaves and sticks stuck to their feet so oaoly
that they could not climb the trees nor run
very far even on the leaves. The hrst cay
ture amounted to twenty-seyen squlrle.sii
and within a week Corner had killed anu
captured over 100 squirrels by his unique
device -ChriStidn Adu0cate.

o'clock, and az ten o'clock the first
broad gauge train with Supt Blick.
ensderfer, Master Mechanic Hickey.
and Others on board started north
amid cheers from the crowd gathered
TO see the train start The party re-
turned on Tuesday morning and re
ported the road in prime condition.
The passenger trains on this road will
run as before, but the passengers will
be subjected TO the inconvenience OF
making a change Of cars at this point.
This change on the Utah & Northern

that has ever been made IN this part
Of the country. Freight can now be

A disgracefnl scrap occurred on
the platform last Sunday evening be-
tween two drunken men, and when

one OF the constables was set upon by

On Wednesday evening another row
occurred in the lower end OF town; it
is hard TO tell just how it all came
